Iris pseudacorus

Yellow Flag Iris (Iris pseudacorus), an aquatic or marginal spring-flowering perennial found naturally over much of Europe, North Africa and Eurasia. The brown markings on the yellow flowers, which are quite extensive here, are variable. Available as a stock photo at http://www.cfgphoto.com/photos-irises.html .

Hortiphoto

Since the early 1990s I have been a full-time horticultural photographer and writer and have also worked a technical editor and contributor on many titles, including the Botanica and Flora plant encyclopedias. In addition I have written numerous magazine articles.

My photographs have been published worldwide and while primarily intended as illustrations to accompany text, they are of course beautiful in their own right. My images are available as stock photos via my website: Country, Farm and Garden Photo Library (http://www.cfgphoto.com).
